The best way to analyse a research question is to break it down further into the concepts or ideas you would like to find in an article on the topic. For example, using the research question "Find recent research on the use of Ketamine in the pre-hospital environment" we could identify the following concepts:
| Concept 1 |
Concept 2 |
Concept 3 |
| prehospital |
Ketamine |
recent |
You then need to identify keywords which describe these Concepts, words that you will use in your search. For example, we could add the following keywords:
| Concept 1 |
Concept 2 |
Concept 3 |
| prehospital |
Ketamine |
recent
